Akitu Pinot Noir Blanc 2023

Central Otago, New Zealand

We're huge fans of pinot blanc at Advintage HQ and this aromatic and distinct pinot blanc from this premium producer does not disappoint. There's a lovely savoury presence to the wine that's nicely supported flavours of grapefruit, mandarin and ripe quince. Partial ferment in old French oak adds another dimension of complexity. Match with grilled salt and pepper squid for a mouth-watering combo.

Tasting Notes

Bob Campbell MW writes "Delicate, ethereal wine with subtly succulent, floral, red cherry with a blush of colour and a hint of sweetness. Delicious wine that deserves to be well chilled to restrain the sweetness."

The winery writes "Complex festoon of aromatics and perfume. Pink and orange rose petal, subtle musk bouquet over ripe stone fruit, nectarine, and apricot blossom. There is an expansion of pistachio dust on wet slate, hints of camomile and marigold adding layers of earthy florals. A distant note of amaranth and cinnamon lead you to the top of the haystack. While there is plenty of fruit there is a distinct savoury almost saline presence to the palate of this wine. Tight and crunchy entry with a long and abundant persistence. Ripe quince and custard apple and a hint of feijoa, leads to a grapefruit and mandarin with notes of kaffir lime leaf folding through cinnamon and baking spices. Unique volume and textural power with supple acid tension giving way to a very long and silky finish. Hints of wild strawberry and white cranberry linger well after the tactile effect has dissipated."
